HOME RlTN DALI.
Figures do not always tell the
truth in sport. lull, they sure hit the
nail on the head relative to the live-
ly bull. .
In the middle of last season 8
change was made in the bull used by
the majors. it was toned down con-
siderably. Almost overnight the
pitchers seemed to regain much of
their old-time effectiveness.
At tirst tile lllnnnfacturers scoffed
at the suggestion that the bail had
been Changed, but finally admitted
it.
In going over some world series
data the other day. i came upon
some facts that best tell the story of
the lively ball and the home run
orgy that have prevailed in the ma-
jors for the last three years.
In the world series games from
1905 to 1922, 18 meetings between
the two big leagues. a total of 35
home runs were made, an average
of about two a series.
In the last three world series,
1923-24-23. home runs became com-
mon. 31 being made. Thus in the
last three classies. nearly as many
home runs were made as in the 18
previous events.

And still there were those foullsh
enough to argue that it was the
same ball as in days of old.

SERIES FIGURES
Four home rulls had been the rec~
ord mark up until the 1923 event.
In that series the figure jumped to
10. The following season it was one
less. [...-let your all records were
broken with 12 circuit swats.
While the bail played its part in
the dozen homers made by the Pi-
rates and Nationals, a certain
amount of the blame must be placed
on the curtailed ball parks.
Both clubs shortened the playing
territory of the outfleids consider-
ably and some of the home runs of
the last series were the sorriest of
Jokes. particularly those that went
into the temporary stands on the
bound.
I am inclined to think the fans
didn't enthuse over the home runs of
the last series as much as usual.

sooner or inter it will be made
compulsory that the world series
games be played on the same fields
on which the pennants were even.

LEGISLATION NEEDED
With the ball that was in use 10
years ago. the distance of 235 feet
from the home plate called for a
worthwhile swat to produce a home
run.
This is proved by the fact that
